The shadows produced by certain objects, despite their linearity, such as these ancient medieval funerary sarcophagi, may not be too spectacular compared to others, but they are always an invitation to fantasy and above all, to speculation.
In that sense, we could speculate with the approximate shape of a 'door' that they project on the ground and think in a symbolic way, as they did in ancient times, seeing in them lintels at other levels of existence, which would be part of the so-called Anubis syndrome. : the fascination that man has always felt for the supernatural.

You're welcome @juancar347, well done! Keep going like that 😊😊😊
Wow... Ancient indeed. It does cause wonder and stirs the imagination.
Hi @ melinda010100. I think that is the idea, that shadows are a great complement to develop not only creativity, but also imagination. These sarcophagi, although they do not seem like it, are a thousand years old and in their day they were part of a large Visigoth and medieval cemetery. A warm greeting
1000 years! The shadows add to the questions with no answers. Who was buried there? How did they die? Was their life well lived? Were they loved and mourned? We will never know, but maybe the answer is in the shadows!
Certainly we know something. At least, what was not cruelly plundered. We know, for example, that he was already buried there in Visigothic times, whose debacle occurred in the 7th century with the Muslim invasion of the Iberian Peninsula. And we also know that during the Middle Ages, there was an important population center and even stonework workshops that built the main Romanesque churches of what is known as the Romanesque art of Sepúlveda. In those burials, which were originally in a nearby field, a variety of people were buried: warriors, artisans, women, children ... In fact, I can tell you that these types of churches were authentic cemeteries. Not only did they have a small attached cemetery, but they also proceeded to bury even inside the church, in niches made in the pavement of the nave, sometimes horizontally and sometimes vertically. Of course, as is often the case today, in many cases they were also buried with their best jewels and there are not a few heartless treasure hunters who have been made with such objects, whose value is not only crematistic but also historical. Greetings
Having your depth of historical knowledge certainly helps my imaginings!

In relation to the supernatural I think that it is something that we should take with great respect, for something it receives that name, but it is as you say it arouses a lot of curiosity
Everything must be taken with due respect and even more so when it comes to beliefs, feelings and philosophies. There may be only one Truth, but to get there there are always many paths and they are all valid.
